PERSONALITY
• carefree all throughout her life and Elsa had been nothing but free-spirited, enjoying life to the fullest and attempting to grab every moment of happiness she could. one reason she did that was because she knows soon enough, life will end and take the happy moments away with it, and she never wanted to exit this life without at least the smallest hint of a smile and a carefree spirit. whatever pops into her mind at that moment, she would do it without thinking of the consequences of her action. she would rather lead such a life than leading an uptight, formal one like the one her family is forcing upon her.
• friendly without one tiny shred of doubt, Elsa could not be considered as a mean sort of person. she cares for almost everyone and helps them out in their time of need. since a smile graces her lips, Elsa appear quite friendly on the first impression, and she maintains such an impression with her numerous friendly gestures. obviously, Elsa does have her moments in which she could snap in, but they are quite rare, and she quickly regains her composure and her genuine, friendly side.
• weak even though she does possess quite some friends and a fair share of acquaintances, Elsa does have enemies like any other normal person, but she isn't one to head towards physical or verbal violence, mainly because she would be the first to fail in such encounters. even though she has strong opinions on basically every subject, the only verbal strength she seems to have appears in debates or such causes that she could truly fight for. As for the enemy encounters, she'd rather avoid them, especially in this teenage world in which the slightest of words could hurt tremendously. Same goes for physical fights, since she's easily hurt and bruised from them, and could suffer for a while because of such confrontations.
• witty intelligence is quite one thing that Elsa is proud to have, especially that it had helped her through several obstacles in her life. during her earlier years in life, she was quite ahead than most of the students in her class, mainly because her parents had been educating her ever since her birth on every little possible thing, therefore she gained the necessary intelligence to remain ahead of her class with outstanding achievements. nowadays, her passion lingers upon reading, writing and cryptography, where challenges always met her and she'd pass them with so much as a little effort.
• adventurous another passion of hers is being freed into this world in order to discover the mysteries behind every story, to uncover the truth behind every lies, and to witness the greatest events in history. adventures was a welcoming thing towards Elsa, which is why she was always thrilled during her trips outside the country. being a curious young girl, she always had a knack of poking herself into what was not rightfully her business, therefore earning her some troubles, though she would never give up. bravery always lingered within her and she would never let it go when it came to adventures.
• strong-willed even though she's weak in confrontations with enemies and such, she can never be weak when it comes to defending her or people's rights. Elsa has quite a strong personality and an open mouth whenever she wanted to debate on important issues. she has her own beliefs, much like most people do, but she would never shut down on them and keep them locked inside. she would rather share it with the world, make them care as much as she does. though she wouldn't be poking people's faces and stop befriending them just because they don't possess the same interests in such matters as she does, she still would rather the world share such things with her.

HISTORY
Born in the cold month of November, Rita entered a new world in which she would shape her own beginning. She was born in a moderately warm hospital, with her father present inside the room awaiting her arrival and her other family members outside. At first, he refused the idea of his wife being pregnant, but as the days passed by, he had learned to accept it and embrace the fact that not only would he start a new family, but they would finally have a child that could succeed him and their business one day... gaining intelligence that his father lacked and probably even returning the amount of wealth that was gone. Robert Crocker worked in a moderate electronics company, where he was only a mere normal worker over there that received an average salary and had a good job. That was the best he could have received ever since his parents lost most of their money the natural way: gambling. Luke Crocker was unlike his ancestors and his son, for he was a man that was very un-careful and could not handle the huge amount of money he inherited from his former generations. On one drunken, gambling night, he lost all that his ascendants passed down to him, therefore leaving his family in a terrible condition. Even though the family lost the wealth they had, they still possessed the same elegant postures and manners that they had from the beginning, just like any first class family has... except now they were rather middle class than anything else at all. That had happened years before Rita was born, therefore the Crocker family had time to erase that mistake they had written and start all over, even if it was rather difficult when Luke was retired and the only incomes that would enter their lives is rather average and terribly less than what they had from the beginning. That is why Robert was nervous at first about this baby, but he knew that they could manage. His wife had been on the edge for days, imagining how he would react when she finally spilled the beans, but eventually, she knew she couldn't keep such a thing from her own husband, obviously, even though he was the one person she possessed the hugest fear of telling. When she did tell him after one week had passed, he had hardly accepted it, remaining edgy for a couple of days before he thought that it might not have been a terrible occurrence after all, that this child could be helpful, that as the days pass by, he could actually love him/her.
Basically, her family was like any other family expecting a new child. Anxious was the most significant feeling that they felt that night. Rita resembled other babies in an obvious way, with her cries filling the air of that hospital room, and with her mother holding her protectively within her arms even though she almost lost her life because of this young girl. They returned home the next day with a new family member, and she proved to be an exact worthy child for the following years. Of course, taking care of a child was a hard task to do with inexperienced people, and more than a few times did the parents consider setting her up for adoption, but when they did get used to it, they could never guess why did they think that in the first place. All parents suffer at first, and they resembled them terribly with a crying, hungry, and sometimes even sick baby. When she was a little over a year old, she already proved how intelligent she was going to grow up to be. Building blocks and learning things over the years did provide her with a great education and allowed her to become the person she is nowadays. Sometimes she'd even have certain moments in which her wit would shine the most and her mother would possess high expectations of the future. She tried not pampering her too much, for she thought that most pampered daughters would turn out rather more corrupted than when they aren't too much spoiled emotionally. That was actually quite normal for the family, since most of Victoria Wilke's thoughts and beliefs still linger within the wealthy status that they had lost a while ago. Victoria remained home with Rita most of the time, since she was a mere housewife and her husband worked six days a week... which is why he hardly had to worry about every little thing when it came to her growth. What did matter him the most was for Rita to grow up as a strong, intelligent character that could achieve great heights in life, both for her own self and for the loss that the family had felt. Rita did just that and met her father's standards great in the many years that she had lived, for reading books and attempting to solve several mysteries did come in handy eventually, and she had more than enough information within her mind.
During one evening, when Rita was barely two years old, Robert had possessed a crazy idea within his mind... to quit his job and actually start a new one with his own brother: George Crocker. That was obviously rather insane, even if Robert was an extremely intelligent man that could achieve greatness in life... it was still not suitable especially that now he had a family to take care of. When he announced such a thing to his wife, she was extremely raged that she refused to speak to him completely until his mind found its way back to him. Robert, being the stubborn man that he is, actually made up his mind about it and continued down this path with his brother. They started a small computer company that was bringing in small amounts of money at first, but then after a whole year, business was finally blooming, and Robert actually had an excellent amount of income that could provide for him and his family generously. They were still, however, extremely far away from what they used to be, though he was definitely on his way towards there. It seems rather unusual that such a small company would grow worldwide like this in only over a year or so, but there is obviously a secret behind this: Luke Crocker's illegal activities. Robert was not into that kind of acts, since he was an honorable man and refused to indulge into business as such. Luke, however, had made excellent deals in that road, therefore ensuring his and his sons' names to reach an extremely high standard. It wasn't long before, with the help of Luke, and with Robert's new ideas that brought in a more than fair amount of money, that money finally ran inside their household and gave them a small fortune, which obviously turned better during the next few years. Eventually, the Crocker family was known with electronics in a wide range, but never had they been exposed as relating to illegal activities, for Robert was never going to deal with such occurrences and his ideas had brought in more money than those illegal activities did. Robert was witty, and he sent that amount of intelligence towards his daughter as well, and he also ensured an excellent life for her and her future. Victoria obviously regretted her mistrust with her own husband, though she eventually did stand by him and helped him through every up and down within his career.
As Rita grew up, she asked a lot of questions, and often received intelligent answers during her life that left her thriving for more and more; which is mainly why she was interested in cryptology, a branch that she was basically obsessed about. Not only was she curious about how things work in life, but about her parent's past as well. Robert Crocker, she learned, was a mere traveler from Florida towards Switzerland when he met Victoria Wilke, a young lady that had lost her parents when she was young and was fighting life rather strongly than most people would. She was never weak during these days and she helped herself and her sister to move along. Robert on the other hand was a man searching for his steady life, roaming different countries till he reached Switzerland. It wasn't long before Robert found himself drawn to her after he met her on the outskirts of a city, rather lost and looking for his way around. She felt sorry for the tired American traveler and helped him find a path, and that is when they started talking and knowing things about the other that started a new set of emotions. Robert admired her courage and strength in dealing with issues in her life, and she admired him for his sense of adventure and his intelligence. Since he had enjoyed her company far more than anyone else during this whole journey, he remained in Switzerland longer than he had intended on, and his stay over that proved rather worthy. After a little over a year had passed, he proposed to Victoria and she accepted gladly, loving the American traveler and also because he was living a successful life... when his family had been wealthy at that time. They had agreed upon marrying within Switzerland, then travelling back to America to live there for the rest of their lives, since Victoria didn't possess many favorable memories back in Switzerland anyways. She couldn't leave her sister all alone; therefore, she travelled to Florida along them. It was quite a normal meeting as far as any of them was concerned, and a normal marriage, therefore a normal life was bound to come. They were rather thankful that everything went from down to up during the inconvenient time after Rita's birth and Robert decided that the same mistake was not to be done again... forcing him to work three times as hard and threatening his father about his gambling habits. Fortunately, none of that had occurred again.
During the earlier stages of her life, Rita was home-schooled, feeling more comfortable in her domestic environment rather than in a crowded place. Her passion lingered mostly in reading and mysteries, developing her mind far beyond her age because of the information she'd take rather than watching plain old cartoons. She didn't think they were boring, but it comes second whenever it challenged books and reading. If it wasn't for the moderate library within her household, Rita could have grown up completely different. Rita loved her family quite a lot, especially her troubling twin cousins. There never passed a day without those two being the center of attention in some sort of havoc, and most of the time they would include Rita... this is mainly how she grew up loving adventures. They were over-protective of her, because she was their own cousin and had no sibling; even though she keeps insisting that she's stronger than the two of them joined together, they would never listen. Her aunt, Virginia, was her favorite, too, because it felt as if she understood her more than anyone else in the family (and she would always state how her sister’s ways are rather uncanny and different than they used to be). She would always state that money could do that to people, change them into creatures that feed on the less powerful, but she cared about her sister far too much, especially after she gave her a comfortable life since the death of their parents. The rest of her family was quite up-tight and acted in a ridiculously snob way, but Rita could not deny that she still would love them no matter what. They insisted that Rita and the twin to act more maturely, forcing them to become the heirs of the future even though they're only teenagers now. It was safe to say, though, that Rita gained most of her needs during her years in life, even the love she needed from her parents. She did know that, though sometimes it would annoy her when her parents insisted terribly that she acted as a lady rather than a normal girl. Rita didn't exactly refuse that tremendously, though she thought that acting as a "lady," by her mother's standards, was quite ridiculous. She had good eating habits, acceptable manners, and she treated older people in a good way, was that not enough? Apparently it wasn't. Her family was rather old-fashioned when it came to such matters, especially now that they possess enough wealth to actually be acting in such a way. Rita was sent to an excellent school, where the snobs always enroll and such. She made quite good friends, but made enemies just the same. There were some people that were exactly like her mother, forcing her to remain in a state that told her to act in a certain way and no other. Rita, however, was free-spirited and refused to be told what to do.
When she was fifteen, she was rather fed up by her family's persistence, and exited her home to enter a party that most corrupted people attend. Once she was there, she had no idea how to act in such a society, but the adrenaline rushing within her body had thought for her instead. She had no idea what made her come here. She had no idea why she was acting this way. She had no idea what made her grab that bottle of alcohol and start drinking until she could no longer enjoy the conscious life. She was lost that night, and that lead her to terrible things. The drunken state took over her, and she would never have wanted anyone to know that at all, since she refused to take even a little bit of alcohol and was against it completely during other events by people in her school. It was moments before she was led outside by a stranger, minutes before she reached his house, and hours before she woke up with no clothing the next morning besides the same stranger, with her nostrils filling with the scent of alcohol and sex. It was rather obvious what had happened even towards a blind man. Rita dashed out of the place, and beared with that secret since it angers her every time she remembers what alcohol could do and how strong it actually is. Now, she's nineteen and leading a normal teenage life (if you could consider touring around in a great band and with great friends normal), and so far, she's happy with her life, accepting every little bit that comes her way and ignoring the other parts. At first, she joined the band basically because she loved music and to go against her parents' beliefs, but she discovered no later that this was something that she enjoyed fully. There was hardly anything out of place or that was unordinary, but people have different aspects and beliefs, therefore, she was bound to stick out somewhere or the other. Either way, Rita is proud of whom she is, and she wouldn't even force people to change their personalities for her. As far as she's concerned, life is good as it is.
[/b]s he looked down upon Chase, many people would think that he was actually quite arrogant in such matters, seeing as Indigo would always seem to do as such when thinking himself plainly better than the other... which actually was quite true in every single case. He didn't attempt to deny it in any way, for conspicuous things such as this needed no declining from the wrath. One of Indigo's eyebrows twitched when he heard his last comment, as if in a movement to lift themselves up and end up in a perfect arch, but he stopped himself almost immediately. He definitely wasn't about to stay here and take such things said by Chase then not act upon them or react for that matter. Besides, if it was any other person, they probably would have taken it as a normal thing to escape from the sloth's lips, but towards Indigo... he had far more pride, and temper, to ignore anything said. His fists clenched, and he advanced forward, slightly closing the space that was made when Chase stood up, but for some really strange, obnoxious reason, he didn't quite strike. This angered Indigo very much, not being able to punch Chase from the first time, but he knew very well that this wasn't the first time that such an occurence had happened. Sometimes, he seemed rather vulnerable in front of the sloth, as if not capable of harming him physically when he should have... but he always hated this badly whenever it happened. Cursing inwardly, Indigo brought both of his hands up and finally clenched the collar upon Chase's neck, as if attempting to strangle him though surprisingly enough, his grip upon it wasn't quite that strong. "Do you have a death wish Jones?" His voice was forcefully low, husky, and somewhat intimidating, though he didn't quite pull it off rather well. It seemed as if he was quite unable to do as such perfectly well for an unknown reason, but Indigo didn't show it conspicuously at all... or at least, that's what he hopes. Indigo can be quite the actor whenever he wants to, but no one can be perfectly... fake all the time. It would have saved him loads of trouble if he was as such, but then again, even Indigo has numerous flaws that are hidden beneath his skin... well, if you don't consider his arrogance and extreme violence bad traits. He wished if it was anyone but Chase, though apparently, his luck wasn't being quite helpful nowadays, not whenever this brat still lingered within the walls of Rescued. Why was Chase even being sent here anyways? Couldn't they have just finished him off and passed some bullet through his head in order to end the misery that Indigo was secretly feeling? If it was upto Indigo, he probably would have done that long ago... and Indigo's quite capable of murdering someone with his bare hands.NAME alaa

A sigh was trapped in the middle of his throat, debating on whether to escape his lips or keep it within there. He tried telling himself that he thought less and less of the sloth by every single word that was uttered from his lips, but he was incapable of doing as such from inside his veins. "I don't believe in accidents." As those words exited his lips, he stated them in a rather simple way, yet, it was as if he was holding back something. Perhaps it was anger? His teeth weren't gritted, but the intensity of his gaze and the bitter calmness he gave off was more than enough to indicate that he will, apparently, act upon his frustration soon enough. It was perhaps the easiest task to anger someone like Indigo, but no one knew how to do as such perfectly more than Chase Jones did, though Indigo, being the oblivious, in denial sort of person that he is, he could never imagine, and he probably will remain unknown to the answer even after it strikes him right in the face. It tugged badly upon his personality, and he could do nothing in order to get rid of that parasitic trait. Indigo's probably far more pathetic than he seems to be, but then again, no one can read others like open books, especially when this boy tries his best to hide everything he really was. In the end, it all falls on whether he would want to start being as such, or letting others discover him first. He didn't want to think just yet, for he rarely ever did when included in such situations, for when he ever does think, it might end up in a quite chaotic situation in which the result will leave Indigo confused as ever, which wasn't something he quite welcomed with open arms. As the other occupant of Remember stood up, Indigo merely burned a hole through him by gazing into his eyes, not wanting to break contact, but apparently, Chase did first. If there's one thing Indigo liked it's eye contact, for even if it did tell quite so much emotions that only existed deeply within a person, it can also mean to overpower someone else by such. Indigo thought too much for someone his age, and that wasn't really such a welcoming trait within him but it kept him alive all this time, didn't it. Indigo was quite thankful for the height difference between the two of them. Even though it wasn't much, but it was more than enough for Indigo to tower over Chase, which he had taken full advantage off.
A
Unadmittingly, though, there was this streak within him that he never wanted to show, one that made him... softer than usual, but that seemed to come out to certain people, though he was oblivious as to why it had done as such to Chase Jones. The boy was a complete pain in the neck, and he deserved every bad thing in his life, but Indigo's feelings were way beyond any such hate. This made him feel quite weak, which isn't something he had ever wanted, which is why these thoughts were ones that he pushed away. This was Chase for goodness' sake, the person whom Indigo would torture gladly whenever he wanted to... the person in which he hopes he'll murder some day... the person who... These thoughts were running wildly across his head, and unconsciously, one of his hands slid down and left Chase's collar, whilst the other still lingered there, as if debating on what to do at the moment. He didn't even realize just how rapid his heart seemed to beat at the moment, and from the slight proximity he had with the sloth, for he still held tightly against his collar with one hand, he was pretty much sure Chase could feel them. Though... that could only mean that Indigo was quite hyper and ready to beat him up when he wanted, right?
